The passion to drive doors
TORMAX UK Ltd

Driven by Quality
Cost-effective
Competitively priced, TORMAX motors have proven to
deliver reliable operation in the long-term, often as much as
15–20 years after installation making them a cost-effective
and sustainable solution.
Sustainable
Being both gearless and brushless, TORMAX asynchronous
motors have virtually no working parts to fail, making
them a sustainable solution as well as providing near-silent
operation. Incomparable movement dynamics ensures
energy efficiency by minimising heat loss from the building
thanks to split second response to approaching foot traffic.
Fully compliant with RoHS standards the operators
are tested well in excess of current industry requirements.
Modular
All iMotion operators are uniform in design. This means that
if requirements change over time, operators can quickly
and easily be adapted to meet new circumstances. Systems
are also equipped with the same controls and user interfaces,
significantly simplifying maintenance and operation.
Operating nationwide, TORMAX has over 50 years
experience in the design, manufacture and installation of
automatic entrances.
The range of DDA compliant systems enables the precise,
silent and reliable operation of swing, sliding, revolving
and folding doors.
TORMAX iMotion automatic door operators are the result
of extensive research and development at the Head Quarters
in Switzerland and represent one of the most advanced
solutions on the market today.

Automatic Revolving Door Systems
Automatic turnstile revolving doors are as
prestigious as they are elegant. Effective at
reducing heat loss from the building, revolving
doors are particularly suitable in areas
of high foot traffic and where energy efficiency is valued.
Classic – available in two size options, the Classic revolving
door system delivers flexible solutions to suit most locations.
Light frame – with no central column, a glass ceiling
and profile-free leaves this is an visually light and elegant
revolving entrance.
Full glass – manufactured almost exclusively from safety
glass, this is a futuristic solution. The surfaces of the door
leaves and drum wall profiles have a chrome steel finish
whilst the ceiling is completely made of glass and the door
leaves need no central pillar.
Automatic Sliding Door Systems
TORMAX automatic sliding door systems
provide convenience and flexibility for effortless
access without contact. The extensive
product range delivers a solution for almost
any location, during construction or for retro-fitting.
Tight for space – telescopic sliding doors offer an
alternative when a large opening width is required but
structural considerations do not permit wide door leaves.
Cool curves – A curved sliding door (pictured above)
makes a strong architectural statement, delivering
contemporary grandeur to a building. It can also offer an
opening width of up to 40% more than linear sliding doors.
A point to make – The angular sliding door is the perfect
solution for providing an optical emphasis to a modern
building, creating an eye-catching, prestigious entrance.

Automatic Folding Door Systems
Folding doors are the ideal solution for
areas where space is at a premium, making
a standard sliding or automatic swing
door unfeasible. Advanced sensors activate
automatic leaves to fold smoothly and silently back,
creating a generous entrance.
Automatic Swing Door Systems
Intensely practical, automatic swing doors are
often quick and straightforward to install whilst
existing manual doors can often be easily
automated. Swing doors increase convenience
and provide barrier-free access for the disabled.
Visible door drives – drive box and linkage are external,
allowing quick connection to existing conventional doors or
new entrances.
Invisible door drives – automation system is concealed
in the floor or ceiling allowing architectural integrity to
be maintained in locations of historic importance or where
a clean, modern finish is required.

A case in point
Verulam Point, an impressive commercial office building in
central St Albans, has undergone a major refurbishment
and now benefits from a technologically advanced TORMAX
iMotion automatic sliding entrance system.
A sustainable option, the iMotion 2301 high torque door
drives are precision engineered to ensure low energy
operation whilst heat loss from the building is significantly
reduced thanks to a combination of rapid reaction sensors
and powerful opening and closing speeds. In addition, the
operators are manufactured using 95% re-cyclable materials.
The new stainless steel entrance now slides smoothly
open to welcome corporate employees and visitors into a
five-story glazed reception atrium, offering easy access
to 53,000 sq ft of prime office space. reference

TORMAX door for top London landmark
Aesthetically impressive as well as intensely practical,
TORMAX has designed and installed a mirror-polished,
stainless steel, revolving door system at the prestigious
London Stock Exchange Group. Tried and tested in
demanding locations worldwide, the TORMAX 5201
revolving door operator is proven to be extremely reliable.
Incorporating a hi-tech programmable logic circuit,
the Stock Exchange entrance system delivers optimum
performance controlled by a simple keypad, allowing
all aspects of door operation to be carefully adjusted to suit
fluctuating levels of foot traffic and weather conditions.
Automatic Folding Door Systems
Small space solution
A busy facility, Surrey County Hall is home to over 1,500 staff
and is also used extensively by members of the public
accessing a variety of administrative services. TORMAX
was contracted by Kier Services Facilities Management to
install an automatic folding door to the main entrance,
improving access, security and minimising bottlenecks at
key times of the day.
“The new entrance contributes towards disability
discrimination compliance, allowing easy access for all
members of the staff and public,” comments the
Council’s Facilities Manager. “It also helps maintain the
ambient temperature in the lobby area, by minimising
heat loss from the building.”

Access for ancient church
The Grade I listed St Mary’s Church in Nantwich has truly
embraced 21st century technology, successfully automating
new arched glass entrance doors to the south porch
by installing an iMotion 1401 underfloor door operator.
“The building is widely acknowledged to be one of the
finest medieval churches in England today and attracts over
50,000 visitors a year,” explains, Rick Appleton, Fabric
Committee Chair at the Church. “It was essential to upgrade
public access without impairing architectural integrity.”

Health and safety legislation dictates that any automatic
entrance system is maintained in line with the manufacturers’
recommendations.
A TORMAX maintenance contract delivers a comprehensive
programme of test, inspection and repair, ensuring your
system is legal and safe for users at all times.
The number of maintenance checks required per year
depends on foot traffic levels and other factors such as
adverse weather conditions. Bi-annual visits are generally
recommended.
Our nationwide team of professional engineers have the
benefit of well stocked vans, allowing some repairs to
be carried out during maintenance inspection and helping
avoid charges for return visits.
Emergency breakdown cover can also be provided.

“Since taking on TORMAX UK Ltd to deliver a planned maintenance contract our usual remedial call out rate for automatic doors has been cut by nearly 80% – down from 150 to just 13 per year” confirms Duncan Rennie, Technical Services Manager for Graham FM who is responsible for facilities management at the University of Hertfordshire. “We have been delighted with the overall reduction in expenditure delivered by the TORMAX maintenance service contract.”
